Stephen McCosh Funeral Directors treated us with compassion, kindness and care from the very first meeting. They explained everything so well and kept us informed at every point, from organising the obituary, the order of service, the music for the crematorium and guiding us through what would happen on the day of the funeral as well. The staff were professional, respectful and compassionate towards us and very well organised, nothing was too much trouble for them.

  • 5 Alan Garbutt 16th May 2023

    Our 13 year old daughter died suddenly and I’ve spent a few days trying to come up with the right words for this review . There simply are not enough superlatives to describe the professionalism and dedication of this funeral director’s. They went way beyond our expectations and took control of everything in a time when we were lost and grieving. 
    We will forever be in their debt and would definitely recommend them to everyone in the future.
